All the way to their grave

they will forever carry that stain

for they came to enslave

this stain will forever remain

they came to the poor

and lo and behold

their legacy will forever endure

for it was men they sold

those who ran to plymouthrock

will forever carry this sin

for as long as poor men walk

who are judged by their skin

the more that I wonder

about the slave in chains

the more that I ponder

what of him remains

legacies do endure

talk to the men who defy

talk to the men who are unsure

surely they will not reply

talk to the men who talk down to the poor

to the laws of justice they will never comply
